I don't remember what all the specifics are for CF 4.01 ... however... a CF
generated UUID is always in the format of
C42BFC86-D99B-4F37-80EE699DEDDDB88F
XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
where X is 0-9|A-Z ... So assuming you have REFind in 4.01 you could use
REFind(myvariable,"(0-9|A-Z){8,8}-(0-0|A-Z){4,4}-(0-9|A-Z){16,16}$")
which should return a 1 if the string is a UUID ... I believe $ is the code
for "end of string" ... wish I could remember the beginning of string code,
which you'd want to put on the beginning of the expression also ...
Otherwise, you can check the length of the string separately to make sure
it's 35 characters...
